UPPAbaby Cruz V2 vs Nuna Mixx vs Valco Snap Ultra Trend

When deciding what stroller is right for you- it seems like everyone has a different opinion. It’s important to understand exactly what you’re looking for, because your super active sister who wants to take her kids on nature hikes won't be the same as the city stroller dad who needs an excellent storage compartment and a light-weight design for easy carrying. 

So, you have to ask yourself: Do I plan on traveling often? Do I need to lift the stroller up and down stairs? Is the fold compact enough to fit in my car? Do I want a newborn ready stroller (seat reclines flat for newborn’s), or do I want a to turn my stroller into a travel system with a car seat? There’s so many things to consider! 

The first stroller we will discuss is the UPPAbaby Cruz V2. This is a Little Canadian best seller. A single full size stroller weighing 25.5lbs, this is the perfect stroller for all my city strolling mamas. With an effortless compact fold, a 30lb storage capacity and even a non-rethread harness to grow with your child. Life just got so much easier with the Cruz V2. This newly redesigned stroller has added suspension throughout in the front and rear wheels and even front wheel lock indicators so you can stroll in confidence. The one thing to consider when looking at the Cruz V2, would be that the seat can only be used at age three months+. This means you’d need to attach a car seat if you wanted to use it immediately after birth. If you were to purchase the UPPAbaby Mesa, you can attach the car seat to the stroller without adapters! However, if you wanted any other car seat brand, you’d need to purchase adapters separately. 

Another top seller at Little Canadian would be the Nuna Mixx stroller! Weighing in at a whopping 27.6lbs- this stroller is tough and mighty while keeping a clean and compact look! One of the best parts of this stroller is that the wheel suspension sells itself. When customers come in store looking for a single stroller with amazing suspension and large wheels, we put the Nuna Mixx in their hands and there is no question- if you want great wheel quality, top of the line suspension and a smooth and easy push, this is the stroller for you. Rest assured, this is the perfect all terrain stroller to keep your little bundle happy and comfortable, no more bumpy rides keeping this baby awake! Did you also know this is a newborn ready stroller? There is no car seat requirement if you want to take your new baby out for a walk, talk about easy! 

Now the most commonly asked question- how does it fold? Let me be the first to tell you this stroller has the most easy and effortless fold! Another huge selling feature is the ability to wheel the stroller when it’s folded. Can’t carry the almost 28lb stroller up your stairs? You’re not alone! As you can see in the image the wheels and handle bar are accessible when folded, wheel away mamas!

 Finally the Valco Baby Snap Ultra Trend single full size stroller. This stroller checks all the boxes, being only 18lbs it is incredibly lightweight for a full size stroller. With great sized wheels, a big storage compartment, easy fold and even an included foot-muff to keep your mini me snuggly and warm, what more could you ask for? This stroller will get you the most bang for your buck! Newborn ready, reversible seat, adjustable handlebar and footrest, multi-position recline with an easy fold. An affordable price without sacrificing all the bells and whistles we love? Yes please!
